Missy

Very pretty, Fruity, tropical, sweet, bright, beachy, summer-y, nostalgic, transportative, happy, playful, fresh, juicy, citrusy, floral, creamy, warm This is such a pretty tropical, fruity, beachy scent! It reminds me a lot of B&BW At the Beach (which I love!), but it’s got more fruity and tropical notes than At the Beach does. On me, it’s like a mixture of At the Beach and a sweet and creamy pina colada. Kind of what I would consider to be a beachy gourmand. The opening is more tropical fruity and beachy, but as it dries down the tropical fruits become more subtle. At this point it starts smelling less pina colada like, and has much more of a resemblance to At the Beach. The sweet and creamy coconut takes center stage supported by frangipani and the golden warmth of amber. It even has a subtle Sun tan lotion like scent. For me, this is a fragrance I prefer for late spring and summer. It feels very feminine to me, and could easily be worn at any age. I do love the scent, but I doubt that I’ll buy a bottle of it. It’s just too similar to B&BW At the Beach, and I actually prefer At the Beach since it doesn’t have the tropical fruits (it’s also a lot more affordable). As far as some of the fragrances in the “Reminds Me” section goes, here’s my thoughts: 🌴B&BW At the Beach - Almost identical once this has dried down. It just has a slight tropical fruit scent to it that At the Beach doesn’t have, especially in the opening. 🥥🍍Ellis Brooklyn Miami Nectar - They do share similar notes like the coconut, pineapple, and white flowers. However, Miami Nectar has more pineapple throughout, and a much more earthy and masculine leaning dry down. 🐚Replica Beach Walk - They’re both beachy with a coconut note, but Beach Walk has more of a Sun tan lotion like scent as well as a more realistic beachy/ocean scent. It also doesn’t have the tropical fruits, and it’s not as warm or creamy. ☀️Tom Ford Soleil Blanc - They’re both beachy, warm, creamy, and have coconut notes, but that’s about it. Again, Missy has tropical fruits where as Soleil Blanc does not. Soleil Blanc also has a more luxurious and sensual feel to it. I get pretty good performance with Missy. The longevity is decent, it lasts 6-7 hours on me before becoming just a skin scent. The projection is nice, it radiates out about an arm’s length from me. For reference, I’m a huge fan of beachy/coconut fragrances, and some of my favorites include Tom Ford Soleil Blanc, Nest Sunkissed Hibiscus, Kilian Sunkissed Goddess, Replica Beach Walk, Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess, JHAG Lust For Sun, JHAG Vanilla Vibes, Bobbi Brown Beach, SDJ Coco Cabana 39, VS Coconut Passion, B&BW Coco Paradise, B&BW Oahu Coconut Sunset, B&BW At the Beach

Laying by the pool in a greasy puddle of Panama Jack Spf 4 with a boom box and my best friend doing a Cosmo quiz. It is the pre-Summer buzz I need right now in a world where everyone is wearing Sol De Janerio. I might play around layering this with Vacation by Vacation before I start complaining about how I hate sweating and wish it was October Note: Rollerball version, it is giving me more wear time than I typically get from other "clean" fragrances, which I generally avoid when possible, so that is a plus in my book. Edit: And it lasts longer than the Fruit Stripe gum @vibrant.girl mentions -which I want now, but was discontinued January 2024 and it does have that fruity sweetness

Missy smells like a pina colada made with sweet coconut cream on a hot, balmy day, with the green mandarin adding a crisp and fresh edge to a more lactonic and tuberose scent, which can feel a little cloudy for a summertime scent. However it does becomes quite white flower heavy/sunscreeny after a while, I think it could be best layered with an orange/pineapple/passionfruit perfume oil to retain a more refreshing balance.

She starts off with an in your face tropical to the max, almost little girl like scent. Give her 2 minutes because she grows into a gorgeous woody tropical scent.

smells exactly like at the beach by b&bw. i absolutely love that scent & this lasts muchhh longer. officially a fav of mine of summer
